Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Several times, all of the lights would flash on the car to check all of the systems and then the car would shut off while I was mid drive mostly while in a residential neighborhood but sometimes on a major parkway. After about an hour the car would start back up. I would not be able to start the car or change gear while it was shut off. I had the battery and alternator checked and that was not the problem. I took it to the repair shop and they said it was the fuel pump. I researched online and saw several 2015 acuras were recalled with this issue but not my VIN number. …”

“I have a 2015 Acura TLX 4cyl. It is a very nice looking car however there is something wrong with the transmission. I have taken it into the Acura dealership and they have confirmed that there is something wrong however they are not sure what. All they tell me is that there are no codes coming up telling them what it is. They just tell me that everything is documented so if and when there is a recall I have proof that it has been ongoing. When you are stopped and then proceed to go the car will jerk and hesitate to shift to next gear. …”

“My wife was involved in a car accident in which our car got t-boned on the driver side. My wife was completely blindsided and all the airbags on the driver side deployed and when she saw the smoke she thought there was a fire so she told my mother in law to quickly get my 2 yr. Old child out of her car seat. As my wife and her sister who was also sitting in the front started walking towards the back of the car to get me daughter out of the car our car started rolling back even though it was smashed to the right side of the rode and was at a complete stop. …”

“I was stopped close to mailbox for my rental home and had the engine running, brake hold was on and when I unbuckled the car automatically engaged the parking brake without shifting the gear to park. I got out of the car, took the key, collected the mail and got back in. The problem appeared when I got back in. I managed to engage the car into drive mode, but seems like the parking brake did not completely disengage. The vehicle started to move in jerks and spurts as if the drive was happening with the parking brake still engaged. …”

NHTSA complaint #10780853, filed 2015-10, 11,600 miles

“After a minor fender bender, the vehicle became completely disabled and blocked four (4) lanes of traffic for almost four (4) hours. The driver-side knee airbag deployed and several sensors/relays became inoperable and the car reported a braking system failure that rendered the car immobile. The tires locked up and the vehicle subsequently had to be dragged onto a flatbed tow truck. Additionally, the acuralink service did not contact me until 90+ minutes later and the assist/sos button fell off of the car before I could engage it. …”
